Therapist Spotlight: Nikki!

Nikki is a Board Certified and State Licensed Massage Therapist, who has been practicing since she graduated from Irene’s Myomassology Institute in May 2005. She uses a combination of deep tissue as well as relaxation techniques to create a therapeutic massage tailored to each client’s needs and preferences.

IN THE HOT SEAT:

• How do you practice self-care and avoid burn out?
Vacations, yoga, and time with friends.

• What is one tool or product you can’t live without in your massage room?
The electric table. It makes it so much easier to adjust for leverage and pressure for each client, while practicing good body mechanics so I don’t get injured.

• What is something that clients might be surprised to learn about you?
When I was in kindergarten, I wrote a short children’s book that was made available in the Saginaw public libraries.

• What is your go-to playlist or favorite artist to listen to after a long day?
I’m an 80’s hairband gal!

• If you weren’t a massage therapist, what do you think you would be doing?
Probably an event planner. When I left my former career as an administrative assistant, the two things that interested me were massage therapy and event planning. I took a one day intro class for massage and loved it so much, I immediately signed up for the program.

Therapist Spotlight: Natasha!

Natasha received her certification in therapeutic massage after graduating from Baker College in June 2009. Since then she has worked in a variety of settings including chiropractic offices, yoga studios and also in corporate massage. Her favorite modalities include Swedish massage and Prenatal massage. Natasha incorporates deep tissue techniques into her sessions using trigger point therapy, myofascial release, compression, stretching, and cupping therapy.

IN THE HOT SEAT:
• How do you practice self-care and avoid burn out?
I'm a big fan of getting outside taking daily walks with my dog soaking up the sun, I get regular monthly massages myself, try to workout when I can. Another big one for me is solo time, I'm a big fan of a solo night out to just focus on myself and unwind. Lastly, never pass up the opportunity for a great nap!

• What is one tool or product you can’t live without in your massage room?
Probably a little space heater in the winter so my muscles stay warmed up and comfortable as I'm working. One massage tool I have become a big fan of is cups, I often cup myself at home and I love to incorporate those into my deep tissue massages with clients.

• What is your dream vacation spot?
I really want to make my way to the Sedona Arizona area. I'd love to explore the energy work happening out there, experience the vortex's, and take in the majestic scenery.

• What is something that clients might be surprised to learn about you?
I was on the Maury Show in the fifth grade. It was a wishes and dreams themed episode and Maury hooked me up by paying for my braces. Had them for 4 years! I got myself there by writing him a letter without my parents knowledge!

• What is a book you have read recently that you absolutely loved?
Project Hail Mary. A book that would appeal to all audiences. I can't wait to see the movie!

• If you weren’t a massage therapist, what do you think you would be doing?
Working as a journalist or as a veterinarian/something to do with animals.
